  The Alhambra City Council is elected by the citizens of Alhambra to
guide the policy affairs of the community. The Council is composed of five members
elected at-large from five geographic districts of the City to serve four year terms.
Municipal elections are held in November every two years on even-numbered years.
Under a rotational system adopted in 1984, each of the Council members representing
the city's five districts serve as Mayor for a nine-month period. The City Council appoints
the City Manager, City Attorney and City Commission Members. The Council also
serves as the Board of Directors for the Alhambra Redevelopment Agency.

meetings. They are also posted at City Hall and here on the Alhambra web site. If you

your name and address on the card, and the item you would like to address. Return
the card to the City Clerk. You will be called to speak when the matter comes up
for discussion.
